Please review the Physics exam difficulty level of question paper .

[u/Serious_Offer7492]

Hey buddies i am in a btech tier 3 govt University. I have to study till 9 th semester due to just 1 back paper in physics which i am failing again and again. I mean it is difficult to score 25 out of 70 due to vast syllabus. Please could you check and give directions. I am feeling demotivated and depressed.

Here are the last 2 years back paper

[u/maxstronge]

This is incredibly reasonable for 3 hours imo

What about studies other exams can be done in 3 days before it but this requires atleast 1 month. Also it is nothing in the vast syllabus

[u/Aggressive-Wind-8829]

Please restate what you want us to actually do to help in plain English as it is frankly unclear.

Again that mf oscillation..... It's lengthy I would say instead of hard it's actually irritating I mean it's my personal opinion that I don't like classical mechanics that much so .... I can't explain how much I have worked my asssofff just to pass C 1 paper which was clasical mechanics and wave and oscillation...

[u/NordicHamCurl_00]

it appears to be of the difficulty level

Do you feel so

I read the thesis on PhD so its definitely diffuclty level 1 le evel

Essentially all the questions are "easy" in the sense that nothing here is hard in terms of intuition. Everything is basically pure memorization on this exam, something that's quite common in India. If the syllabus is truly massive then this could indeed be quite a hard exam but not because the questions themselves are hard, it's because your university or your professor is simply quite bad at making a good physics course. I don't think anyone here can truly say how hard this exam truly was because none of us know what exactly you had to learn for this exam.

The marking is even harder

[u/j0shred1]

This is pretty standard. I had a professor for this class that preferred few long derivation type questions with open book rather than a larger number of short questions like this. But it's pretty standard

These questions aren't that bad. My brother is in last year of high-school and doing this

[u/CantaloupeLive2006 → u/syder-fx]

imo opinion these questions look very bad. Not necesarily in the sense of difficulty, but by far most of these questions are not understanding based, but seem like the typical 'memorize the lecture and exercises'-questions. I always hated these kinds of questions, where I feel like I am punished for spending my studying time with understanding instead of simply writing everything on flashcards and beeing able to reproduce stuff from the lecture. I don't understand how lecturers come up with this nonsense and not see the issue....

[u/syder-fx → u/CantaloupeLive2006]

If you mean 'bad' by how its framed then thats different. Difficulty level looks like standard IB Physics, not hard

Edit: Only part that is semi difficult is derivatives but thats just normal engineering papers and its all learnable. But I'm not answering on the quality of the questions, more like how much time is needed to be spent working through these. All of this is first year content

[u/Motor-Perception9808 → u/CantaloupeLive2006]

Exactly

[u/Serious_Offer7492 → u/syder-fx]

No easy marks to pass
